Solution to the problem of Kubesa
An infinite family of T-factorizations of complete graphs , where 2n = 56k and k is a positive integer, in which the set of vertices of T can be split into two subsets of the same cardinality such that degree sums of vertices in both subsets are not equal, is presented. The existence of such T-factorizations provides a negative answer to the problem posed by Kubesa.

Some recent results on domination in graphs
In this paper, we survey some new results in four areas of domination in graphs, namely: (1) the toughness and matching structure of graphs having domination number 3 and which are "critical" in the sense that if one adds any missing edge, the domination number falls to 2; (2) the matching structure of graphs having domination number 3 and which are "critical" in the sense that if one deletes any vertex, the domination number falls to 2; (3) upper bounds...

Splitting Cubic Circle Graphs
We show that every 3-regular circle graph has at least two pairs of twin vertices; consequently no such graph is prime with respect to the split decomposition. We also deduce that up to isomorphism, K4 and K3,3 are the only 3-connected, 3-regular circle graphs.
Star number and star arboricity of a complete multigraph
Let be a multigraph. The star number of is the minimum number of stars needed to decompose the edges of . The star arboricity of is the minimum number of star forests needed to decompose the edges of . As usual denote the -fold complete graph on vertices (i.e., the multigraph on vertices such that there are edges between every pair of vertices). In this paper, we prove that for
Star-Cycle Factors of Graphs
A spanning subgraph F of a graph G is called a star-cycle factor of G if each component of F is a star or cycle. Let G be a graph and f : V (G) → {1, 2, 3, . . .} be a function. Let W = {v ∈ V (G) : f(v) = 1}. Under this notation, it was proved by Berge and Las Vergnas that G has a star-cycle factor F with the property that (i) if a component D of F is a star with center v, then degF (v) ≤ f(v), and (ii) if a component D of F is a cycle, then V (D) ⊆ W if and only if iso(G − S) ≤ Σx∈S f(x) for all...

Strong ƒ-Star Factors of Graphs
Let G be a graph and f : V (G) → {2, 3, . . .}. A spanning subgraph F is called strong f-star of G if each component of F is a star whose center x satisfies degF (x) ≤ ƒ(x) and F is an induced subgraph of G. In this paper, we prove that G has a strong f-star factor if and only if oddca(G − S) ≤ ∑x∊S ƒ(x) for all S ⊂ V (G), where oddca(G) denotes the number of odd complete-cacti of G.

Symmetric Hamilton Cycle Decompositions of Complete Multigraphs
Let n ≥ 3 and ⋋ ≥ 1 be integers. Let ⋋Kn denote the complete multigraph with edge-multiplicity ⋋. In this paper, we show that there exists a symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of ⋋K2m for all even ⋋ ≥ 2 and m ≥ 2. Also we show that there exists a symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of ⋋K2m − F for all odd ⋋ ≥ 3 and m ≥ 2. In fact, our results together with the earlier results (by Walecki and Brualdi and Schroeder) completely settle the existence of symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of...

The Balanced Decomposition Number of TK4 and Series-Parallel Graphs
A balanced colouring of a graph G is a colouring of some of the vertices of G with two colours, say red and blue, such that there is the same number of vertices in each colour. The balanced decomposition number f(G) of G is the minimum integer s with the following property: For any balanced colouring of G, there is a partition V (G) = V1 ∪˙ · · · ∪˙ Vr such that, for every i, Vi induces a connected subgraph of order at most s, and contains the same number of red and blue vertices. The function f(G)...
The B-Domatic Number of a Graph
Besides the classical chromatic and achromatic numbers of a graph related to minimum or minimal vertex partitions into independent sets, the b-chromatic number was introduced in 1998 thanks to an alternative definition of the minimality of such partitions. When independent sets are replaced by dominating sets, the parameters corresponding to the chromatic and achromatic numbers are the domatic and adomatic numbers d(G) and ad(G). We introduce the b-domatic number bd(G) as the counterpart of the...
